They responded well enough on Friday, though, with Alex Telles, Marcelo Brozovic and Cristiano Ronaldo all on the scoresheet in a comfortable victory in Riyadh. Steven Gerrard's visitors did at least get a consolation goal through Mohammed Al Kuwaykibi, but with just one win in 12 games in all competitions, pressure on the former Liverpool captain is starting to build in earnest.
